My dog demonstrating what it’s like trying to work in video games

Batman/Static: Beyond #2 is out today! By me, @nikolasdraperivey.bsky.social, Wil Quintana on colors, and Wes Abbott on colors. Popped into Austin Books and Comics to sign what they had on hand.

IIRC, this is the first time something I've written for comics has sold out and gone back to press. I want to say thank you again for the support, especially during what's been an absolutely miserable year in so many ways. Some special things coming up in Bat/Stat, and maybe a small surprise or two.

Good news if you missed the first issue of Batman/Static: Beyond #1... 2nd printing of the debut issue hits on February 4. Issue #2 is out next week on 12/24! (Makes a schway last-minute stocking stuffer, just saying) The dogs and I thank you.

Yeahh! Finally I can share my variant cover for Static and Batman Beyond! I had a lot of fun doing these two characters because I literally grew up watching them on tv after school! So ahhh I'm really excited about this cover! I hope you like it too! #staticshock #batmanbeyond #DCComics

Just really sucks that so many of us are barely getting by (if that), and the people who stole from us are rewarded with billions. It's hard to put into words how demoralising that is.

Listening to Thelonious Monk Plays Duke Ellington and thinking that Aaron Pierre could probably be a good-to-great Ellington in a biopic. Conk wigs would have to go crazy, though...

Hey, it's two guys who've worked on Miles Morales adaptations for movies and video games. The latest episode of @austinfilmfest.bsky.social's On Story series features me interviewing Kemp Powers about his career and creative journey. This was a fun conversation! www.youtube.com/watch?v=CU4c...

It’s absurd how many incredible pages and spreads I still have from my Miles Davis graphic novel. Seriously, buy some art, jeez!

I’ll be signing Bat/Stat #1 at Dragon’s Lair Austin in two weeks!

It has always been important to me that our library is this totally open, free, democratic resource for studying video game history, and we've got a good process. We acquire material, catalog it, digitize it, upload it, promote it, repeat. Our staff size is 2, our overhead low, and our impact huge.

I talked to the fine folks at Splash Pages about my new comix Kickstarter, ANTIMATTER, and other stuff, including scatological super villains. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROOI...

I’ll be signing Bat/Stat #1 at Dragon’s Lair Austin in two weeks!

it’ll seem like I’m kissing up to get more work but @conroyforreal.bsky.social does such a great job of articulating editorial philosophy here.

It's the final order cutoff for Batman/Static: Beyond #1, which means today's the last day for retailers to order it. If you need help telling your comics shop that you want it, here's some preview stuff! First up, cover with full trade dress and interview: (1/2)

Emergent storytelling coalescing during my time in Chicago. None of this was planned but definitely aligns to a theme…

Yes, and let's also remember #YourSlipIsShowing, the Black women activists who predicted all of this first and received no credit. "Before Gamergate, before the 2016 election, they launched a campaign against Twitter trolls masquerading as women of color... If only more people had paid attention."

🤜Fighting a vampire 🧛, some 🐧killer penguins and 💥⚖️exploding lawyers with a 😻cute cat 😻 wielding 🧨fireworks while dodging oncoming 🚃 trains? This can be you in the Beatdown City Survivors demo. #screenshotsaturday store.steampowered.com/app/3383040/...

I'll be talking with @simonparkin.bsky.social today for a live recording of the @myperfectconsole.bsky.social podcast as part of the University of Chicago's amazing Year of Games Symposium. Come through if you can! www.eventbrite.com/e/my-perfect...

Hi! Today I made a knot in my brain trying to describe what makes good criticism, and why some of it can feel a bit unfair. This is complicated, so I'd love to hear your opinion! malindy.medium.com/what-critici...

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."
